G7 support for Zelensky could lead to renewed conflict in Ukraine | World News

Following the G-7 meeting in Apulia, it is clear that the United States-led EU is standing behind Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in the fight against Russia. This support includes a substantial aid package and military hardware to target the Russian logistics base in Crimea. With France ready to put troops on the ground, the UK supplying long-range missiles, and the US providing artillery systems, the situation on the Ukraine front is expected to become heated in the coming days.

During the G-7 summit, Zelensky managed to secure support from the big western powers, including a USD 50 billion aid package and USD 225 million in approved military hardware from the US Congress. This assistance is aimed at targeting the Russian presence in Crimea, potentially exposing a vulnerability for Russian President Vladimir Putin. On the sidelines of the summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a positive meeting with President Zelensky and received assurances from US President Joe Biden about Washington’s commitment to a strong relationship with India in the face of challenges posed by a rising China in the Indo-Pacific.

In response to the support for Ukraine, Russian President Putin has threatened to supply weapons to nations and asymmetrical forces opposed to the US-led coalition. The situation remains unstable, particularly with ongoing conflicts such as the Israeli war in Gaza. Putin has not ruled out the use of nuclear weapons if Russian sovereignty is perceived to be under threat, adding further tension to the global landscape.
